"The evidence is incontrovertible. Marriages, families and communities are suffering as the worlds of work and home collide. The time-crunch is jeopardising our very ability to care for each other, for children, for the elderly, for our friends and neighbours. Even the nation's fertility rate is at stake." (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD) This article discusses how "the combination of longer work hours, an intensified work culture, job insecurity and high rates of maternal employment has imperilled our quality of life."
